I love this primer - covers my pores and helps my mu stay put all day. BUT as always EL is way overpriced, (its just a tube too). Would I repurchase - hmmmm not sure. Think I'll stick with Porefessional as it's cheaper.

I purchased this thinking that it would do wonders, just like Double Wear foundation does. MEEEEH, I think my expectations were too high. This primer is on the "wet" side and it does not do such a great job in minimizing the pores. When it comes to it`s intended purpose, yes, it does leaves the skin matte, but nothing too spectacular. If my makeup lasts a long time on the skin when i wear this, I don`t really think it`s because of it. It`s not a bad primer, but it`s way too expensive for what it does.

I had a large sample of this hiding in a makeup pouch for a while. I recently discovered and made use of it, having never really used a proper primer before. I have very fine, clear skin that is on the dry side. I prep my skin first with a facial oil and apply this under my Bobbi Brown foundation stick. I am amazed at the results. I actually haven't really visible pores, but at 40 I have some fine lines, and this blurs everything beautifully! What made me want to purchase this is the fact that goes beyond a primer and has lovely skin care ingredients. It is actually very much a primer and serum in one.

I started using this product after desperately trying to find a primer that would keep my makeup on longer however I've had a crazy amount of cystic acne appear since using it - more than I've ever had before and unfortunately will have to advise people not to use this as I've never had such bad breakouts so if you have an oily t zone steer clear

I had the opportunity to sample this primer with the Estee Lauder Day Wear Light Foundation and concealer and I must say these products go hand in hand, married.

I was really impressed with the primer and felt the primer was the most important basis that held the foundation & concealer together during an average 9-5 shift. Day Wear Light was actually matte, pore & shine-free for my oily-combo skin after work. I also have sallow dark under eye circles and the concealer did not make the cut in long lasting coverage, but for scars & redness, I do recommend. The formula is also silicone free and packed with anti aging ingredients like algae that is great for sensitive and oily skin types.On nights that I went out, I used Dr. Brandt Pores No More Primer (silicone based) over this primer and my foundation lasted a lot longer, ~2-3 hrs++. I totally recommend getting a sample of this at Nordstrom!

When I apply this fancy product for the first time I feel in love cause my face feels so smooth and even... but it made no difference in the appearance or last of my makeup, at all.I used continually and with different foundations to try it, and always the same result.

Estee Lauder is quality makeup and for that reason I was disappointed with this primer. It does nothing for oily skin, and does not make foundation easier to apply. It's also pricey and again, it's not worth it. Don't buy this if you have oily skin.

I personally do not believe that this product is worth the amount they are charging. I am an Estee Lauder fan and have purchased the Double Wear Foundation multiple times and absolutely love it but unfortunately this primer did nothing what so ever for oil control. It goes on nice and makes you matte for the application of your makeup but after an hour or so it was like I never applied a primer in the first place. If you're in the market for a good primer for oil control I would strongly recommend Smashbox pore mininmizing primer or the benefit porefessional, I have much better luck with those!
